THE 
LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 



Opens April 30th, closes December 1st, 1904. 



The Louisiana Purchase Exposition, at St. 
Louis, 1904, covers the greatest acreage of any 
previous World's Fair. Twelve hundred and 
forty acres are included within the boundaries, 
twice as many as the Columbian Exposition 
at Chicago required. 

The site occupies a plateau on the high 
ground overlooking the city of St. Louis and 
the Valley of the Mississippi River. Alternat- 
ing in forest-crowned hills and verdant valleys, 
its natural appropriateness is ideal. More 
than half of the acreage is included within the 
confines of Forest Park, justly celebrated as 
one of the richest in natural attractions of any 
urban park in the land. The centre of the 
Exposition grounds is about six miles from 
the heart of the city. The altitude of the site, 
the cooling breezes of the South and West, the 



4 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

profuseness of the blue grass sward, and the 
grateful shade of the forest trees will measur- 
ably temper the heat that sometimes prevails 
in the lowlands during the scorching days under 
the Dog Star. 

The general plan of the grouping of the build- 
ings readily takes the form of a fan. The Hall 
of Festivals, standing in majestic splendor 200 
feet above the plain, is the apex. The avenues 
radiating from it form the ribs of the fan, while 
the grand palaces that reflect the architectural 
skill of every age and civilized land supply 
the decorative effects to its surface. Looking 
out from the colonnade of the Hall of Festivals 
over the glistening waters of the cascades, the 
view embraces a picture of lagoon, garden, 
sculpture, and a wealth of architectural splen- 
dor such as the eye of man has never rested 
on. The magnificent proportions of the build- 
ings in their mellow coating of old ivory, set 
in a landscape of rare natural beauty, enriched 
by the supreme skill of the craftsman, suggests 
the thought that the lamp of Aladdin must 
have burned here, while Magic planned and 
built. At night, when the millions of electric 
bulbs shed their soft radiance over the scene, 
the wildest fantasies of imagination fade into 
insignificance in the glorified presence of the 
splendid reality. 

The group of main buildings comprise twelve 
grand palaces, eight of them on a level 60 feet 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 5 

below the others. One broad central avenue 
bisects the group, while other avenues inter- 
sect this at irregular intervals. 

Starting from the lagoon at the base of the 
Hall of Festivals, the Canal winds its way, be- 
tween verdant and flowery banks, through the 
group for the distance of a mile. Artistic 
bridges span the Canal at the crossings, each 
ornamented with interesting examples of mod- 
ern sculpture. 

The whole world and each age of its existence 
has contributed something to the architectural 
design of the buildings. Architects from all 
the principal cities, including Philadelphia, have 
loaned their skill, and discarding all thought 
of conventionality save that of the beautiful, 
have produced a general effect which is at- 
tractive in its diversity and satisfying in its 
grandeur. The lofty colonnades, the broken 
lines, the imposing portals of the larger palaces 
disclose a beauty of form, while the tint of the 
ivory gives a sense of restfulness to the eye 
that is entirely original in such structures. 
Color is absent, except on the roofs, domes, 
and towers. The perfection of dignity reveals 
itself in the creamy richness of the tone. 

The fancy of the landscape gardener in 
league with the skill of the sculptor has en- 
riched lawn and angle with blooming beauty 
spots and groups or pieces of heroic statuary. 
At every spot of vantage on the grounds the 



6 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

sculptor has set some work of his hands, myth- 
ological, historical, allegorical, or contempo- 
raneous in its lesson, but all significant of the 
abounding art of Twentieth Century America. 

The grounds are in the shape of a parallelo- 
gram two miles long by one mile wide, and 
beside the principal avenues there are finely- 
built roads and ways leading in every direction 
and affording free access to all the buildings. 
The transportation facilities within the enclos- 
ure consist of the Intramural Railway, which 
encircles the grounds and reaches every point 
of importance, and the Canal, which in its 
meandering course affords communication with 
all the central buildings. A fleet of Venetian 
gondolas will ply through the Canal, and auto- 
mobiles and auto-chairs will convey passen- 
gers from point to point on the avenues and 
roads at a moderate rate of hire. 

The main palaces of the Exposition number 
twelve. 

THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 

Is a permanent stone structure, castellated in 
style, occupying a superb site at the extreme 
western corner of the grounds, commanding 
a view of the entire landscape. The building 
with its annexes was erected for the use of 
the Washington University and is rented to 
the Exposition Management for use as its ex- 
ecutive offices during the Fair period. Ad- 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAlLkOAD. J 

joining it is a magnificent hall, called the 
Hall of Congresses, where the conventions 
will be held. A convention of some associa- 
tion or order will be held each day. 

THE ART PALACE, 

The central building of the great group is 
the Art Palace, located on the crest of the 
ridge in the rear of the Hall of Festivals. The 
central building is a permanent temple of 
art, which will remain in Forest Park as a 
memorial of the great Exposition. It is built 
of Indiana granite, with an imposing entrance 
of lofty columns and a colonnaded front. 
The main palace is flanked by two others, 
and the group covers nine acres. The ex- 
hibits will cover the field of painting, sculp- 
ture, architecture, and the applied arts, broader 
in scope than any previous exhibition. Al- 
most every country of the civilized world will 
be represented by some form of art, although 
special attention will be given to the work, 
past and contemporaneous, of American art- 
ists. 

THE HALL OF FESTIVALS 

Rises in majestic splendor 200 feet above the 
head of the lagoon, which is supplied with 
water from the cascades that spring from 
the foot of the Hall. The building is cir- 
cular in form, entirely surrounded by col- 



8 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

umns, and surmounted by the largest dome 
in the world. The seating capacity of the 
Hall is 3500. A semicircular colonnade, or, 
as the architects call it, "a screen," 52 
feet in height, extends a distance of 750 
feet on each side of the Hall, terminating 
in attractive circular buildings, which will 
serve as places of refreshment. At intervals 
along the " screen" are placed allegorical fig- 
ures in sculpture, representing the fourteen 
States formed from the Louisiana Purchase. 
The view from the front of the Hall takes in 
the cascades, the lagoon and gardens, and the 
Plaza of St. Louis, dominated by the Louisiana 
Monument, which reaches to the main en- 
trance. 

THE PALACE OF LIBERAL ARTS, 

525 by 750 feet, ornate in its sculpture-crowned 
pavilions and imposing arched entrances, covers 
about nine acres. Its roof will cover treasures 
of science, art, skill, and industry from all quar- 
ters of the globe. The development of the art 
of printing will be shown in the most compre- 
hensive and complete manner, and the won- 
derful exhibit of Chinese industries will be 
notable features. 

THE PALACE OF MINES AND METALLURGY 

Exactly matches in extent the Liberal Arts. 
Its architecture recalls the land of the Nile 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 9 

and the Needles of Cleopatra, and is quaint to 
look upon. It is the largest building of its 
class ever constructed, and will contain the 
greatest collection of ores and everything re- 
lating to mineralogy and geology, including 
mining machinery and models. 

Behind the Palace of Mines is "The Gulch," 
a twelve-acre ravine, where gold mines, silver 
and coal mines, and mining camps may be 
seen in active operation. A structure built 
of blocks of anthracite coal will be a unique 
feature of the Pennsylvania State Exhibit. 

THE PALACE OF EDUCATION AND SOCIAL 
ECONOMY, 

Classic in style, is an imposing structure cov- 
ering nine acres. The entire field of education 
will be drawn upon for illustrations, models, 
books, and apparatus more fully and com- 
prehensively than has ever been attempted be- 
fore. Particularly interesting exhibits relate 
to the study of agriculture and the prepara- 
tion for business. It is the only building ever 
devoted exclusively to the science of educa- 
tion at any exposition. 

THE PALACES OF MANUFACTURES AND 
VARIED INDUSTRIES 

Are so nearly akin in the character of their 
exhibits that they may be considered as two

THE PALACE OF ELECTRICITY, 

ering an area of seven acres, will prove 
one of the most interesting buildings of the 
group, from the very fact that it will disclose 
the latest revelations of that mysterious pc 
Electrical machinery of every description, at 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. II 

rest and in motion, the utilization of the elec- 
tric current in every phase and every known 
demonstration of electrical force, will be shown. 
Telegraphy, wireless and multiplex, and even 
wireless telephony, will be features of absorb- 
ing interest. The contrast between the power 
of man over the " harnessed lightning' ' eleven 
years ago and now will be marked. 

The largest wireless telegraph station in the 
world will also be in operation on the grounds. 

THE PALACE OF MACHINERY, 

Over twelve acres in area, suggests in its con- 
struction the element of power which it is de- 
signed to demonstrate. Machinery in motion is 
fascinating in its grip on the human mind, and 
in this wonderful building the mind will stag- 
ger in the contemplation of force and motion. 
On view here will be found the methods and 
means for creating every variety of machinery 
for the generation, transmission, and use of 
power. The vast power, equal to the concerted 
effort of 40,000 horses, that moves the ma- 
chinery of the Exposition will be seen here 
always working. Among the thousands of 
lesser machines that contribute to the general 
demonstration are a 5000 horse power recipro- 
cating steam engine, a 1750 horse power gas 
engine from Germany, a 3000 horse power gas 
engine from Belgium (the largest ever operated), 
a 600 horse power high-spe'ed steam engine 



12 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

from Harrisburg, Pa., an 8000 horse power 
steam turbine from New York, and a 5000 
horse power steam turbine from Pittsburg. 
The immensity and capabilities of the machines 
in this vast workshop of creative activity are 
impossible of description in this limited space, 
but it can be said that never before has there 
been gathered under one roof such a variety 
or such a number of power-making machines 
as are shown in this exhibit. Up-to-date 
science and modern skill find their richest 
exemplification, not only in the machinery 
that is placed on exhibition, but also in that 
which is moving the multiplied wheels of the 
Exposition. 

THE STEAM, GAS, AND FUELS BUILDING 

Nearby is interesting as the storage depot for 

these supplies. 

THE PALACE OF TRANSPORTATION 

Is the second building on the grounds in area, 
covering fifteen and one-half acres. It lacks 
the architectural adornments of many of the 
others, but its massive proportions and lofty 
arched portals make it one of the most im- 
pressive structures . on the grounds. Within 
its walls every exhibit is on the ground floor, 
and four miles of railway tracks serve to accom- 
modate the locomotives, trains, and cars of the 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 13 

Railway Exhibit. The exhibits are designed 
to show the development of the railway in 
every phase of management, equipment, main- 
tenance, and operation. Great Britain, France, 
and Germany compete with the splendid skill 
of America, and the combined effort of these 
nations, foremost in the world in the field of 
railroad development, makes a marvelous show 
of progress. Motion, too, enlivens the scene 
in the rapidly-revolving wheels of a 200,000- 
pound locomotive, placed on an elevated turn- 
table in the centre of the structure. 

A notable feature of the Transportation 
Building will be the Pennsylvania Railroad 
Exhibit. A space of 33,000 square feet will 
be devoted to this exhibit, which will include 
an original testing plant for locomotives. For- 
eign as well as domestic locomotives will be 
tested for efficiency. A complete plant will 
be erected, on which the locomotives will be 
tested for speed and power by an ingenious 
method, which will give the highest attainable 
speed to the axles while the body of the en- 
gine remains motionless. Apart from the 
scientific and technical results of this investi- 
gation, it will prove a most interesting demon- 
stration to the public, since every element of 
motion will be involved, including sparks and 
smoke, without any actual change of position 
on the part of the machine, and the speed will 
be recorded to the minutest fraction of time 



14 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

and distance. Twelve locomotives, including a 
celebrated type from France, will undergo the 
test, which will be equivalent to a run of ioo 
miles. Other interesting features of this ex- 
hibit will be full-sized models of the proposed 
tunnels under the Hudson River, of the recon- 
struction work at West Philadelphia, the new 
terminal station in New York City, together 
with charts showing at a glance the develop- 
ment and present state of the Company's re- 
lations to its employes in regard to. relief, pen- 
sions, and savings. 

Apart from the contemporaneous exhibit of 
the railway systems of the world, the histori- 
cal development of the railway will be shown 
by contrast with antique examples of old-time 
equipment. The vehicle exhibit, including 
automobiles and even air ships, will be com- 
prehensive. 

A prize of $100,000 to the air ship making 
the best record in a test race will doubtless serve 
to bring about the" most strenuously waged 
contest ever known in the annals of aerial navi- 
gation. 

Water transportation has been little less lag- 
gard in development than rail, and the exhibit 
in this field, including marine and naval sub- 
jects, with the models of river, lake, and ocean 
steamships and the fighting monsters of the 
Navy, will satisfy the curiosity of the lands- 
man and fire the enthusiasm of the sailor, 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 15 

THE PALACE OF AGRICULTURE 

Is the titanic structure of the group. It is 
1600 feet long by 500 feet wide, and covers 
nearly twenty-five acres. Farming in all its 
diverse branches, the chemicals that make 
crops grow, the implements that are required 
in the operation and the harvesting, the ma- 
chinery for draining, and every essential of 
the farmer's work will be included in the gen- 
eral demonstration. The dairy, with its kin- 
dred branches, will receive much attention. 
Cotton, corn, wheat, tobacco, and all the cere- 
als will receive special and exhaustive treat- 
ment. The insects, both friendly and hostile 
to the tiller of the soil, will be shown, with the 
most approved methods of protecting the one 
and destroying the other. 

To the farmer this vast collection of every- 
thing that pertains to his calling will prove an 
interesting study and an educational advan- 
tage. 

THE PALACE OF HORTICULTURE, 

Covering six acres of ground, is constructed 
with a view of securing the greatest volume 
of sunlight within the building. The space for 
the pomological display is the largest ever set 
apart for this purpose, and the exhibit of 
fruits will be general and comprehensive. The 
display of implements and appliances relating 
to this industrv will be exhaustive. 



l6 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

Sixty-nine acres have been set apart for the 
Departments of Agriculture and Horticulture, 
and unusual attention has been bestowed upon 
the outdoor exhibits. Small fruits and flowers 
will receive liberal treatment, and exhibits of 
tree planting will be made by this country and 
Germany on an extensive scale. The rose gar- 
den on the slope descending from the Palace 
of Agriculture covers an area of six acres, and 
a floral clock with a dial ioo feet in diameter 
and hands 50 feet long will prove an interesting 
novelty. 

THE DEPARTMENTS OF FISH, GAME, AND 
FORESTRY, 

Both from an indoor and outdoor standpoint, 
will show a diversity of exhibits that will at- 
tract wide attention from sportsmen as well 
as those engaged in production. The State of 
Pennsylvania will spend $10,000 on a fish ex- 
hibit, which will be as complete in some respects 
as that of the Government. 

LIVE STOCK SHOW, 

The abundant space and facilities provided 
for the Live Stock Show foreshadow the great- 
est international event of this kind ever held. 
Every kind of useful animal is included, and 
the competition is open to the world. Prizes 
amounting to $250,000 will be awarded. The 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. I 7 

grounds and buildings for this show have been 
especially well chosen, both in the interest of 
the exhibitor and the spectator. A bench show 
and a poultry show are included in the general 
scheme. 

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT 
BUILDING, 

Centrally located on a commanding ridge, known 
as Government Hill, is the largest structure ever 
erected by the Government for exhibition pur- 
poses. It is striking in architectural effect and 
twice as large as the Treasury Building in Wash- 
ington. Every Department of the General Gov- 
ernment will be represented by exhibits illus- 
trating its work by model, chart, or figures. The 
exhibits of the Government are always attract- 
ive and instructive, and this one will prove 
especially so on account of the increased expen- 
diture of money and its enlarged plan and scope. 
A number of rare documents, including the origi- 
nal warrant drawn on the Treasury for the 
purchase of Louisiana, and precious relics of 
historical interest, will be shown. 

The Post Office Department will operate a 
Pennsylvania Railroad postal car as a post 
office. The Department of Agriculture will 
show the United States in a six-acre map, with 
paths for the State boundaries, and within 
each State the economic plants peculiar to 
that State will be shown growing in the soil. 



l8 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

A daily drill of the Life Saving Corps will be 
a feature of the Treasury Exhibit, and the 
equipment of the soldier, with some of the big 
guns parked on the adjoining grounds, will 
prove interesting contributions from the War 
Department. An unusually complete display 
of the Government Fisheries, illustrating the 
work of the Department, will be made in a 
building nearby. 

THE PHILIPPINE EXHIBIT 

Covers a tract of some thirty acres, in which 
over iooo natives of the islands will take up 
their residence for the period of the Fair. The 
exhibits and building material forwarded from 
the islands aggregate thousands of tons. Spe- 
cial buildings are provided for the Agriculture, 
Forestry, and the Government Bureaus of the 
Philippines. There are included a Filipino 
church, theatre, market place, and factories of 
Filipino architecture. Representatives of sixty- 
five native tribes are to live within the reser- 
vation during the Exposition, just as they 
live at home. The Filipino industries include 
mining, pearl fishing, agriculture, lace making, 
and various native manufactures. A battalion 
of 400 Filipino scouts and an orchestra of 85 
musicians are features. Native workmen were 
sent from Manilla to work upon the buildings. 
The reservation is a beautiful tract, partially 
wooded, and sloping to the shores of the Lake. 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 19 

The forests are utilized for such tribes as build 
their houses in trees, while the lake enables 
the Filipinos who live upon the water to illus- 
trate their customs and sports. 

HAWAII, PORTO RICO, AND ALASKA 

Each have reservations, where the industries, 
products, manners and customs of the people 
will be shown and illustrated by the natives. 
The gold diggings of the Alaska district will 
be reproduced in model mines, miners' outfits 
and implements, and mining camps. 

THE STATE BUILDINGS. 

The State Buildings are grouped on the Pla- 
teau of States, in the southeastern section of 
the grounds. They occupy the crest of a ridge 
overlooking the general landscape on the fringe 
of the forest, which serves as a background 
for the general picture. 

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE BUILDING 

Is the third in size, being 226 feet long by 105 
feet in depth. It is a reproduction of the new 
Capitol at Harrisburg, and is picturesquely lo- 
cated on the edge of the wood, fronting one 
of the main highways, and near Station No. 
13 of the Intramural Railway. Among its 
many treasures easily the first will be the Lib- 
erty Bell. 



20 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 



THE NEW YORK STATE BUILDING, 

Second in size, 300 by 60 feet, in the same lo- 
cality, is an imposing structure of the colonial 
type as applied to a public building. 

THE NEW JERSEY STATE BUILDING, 

63 by 84 feet, is an exact reproduction of the 
Washington's Headquarters House at Morris- 
town, N. J. It is a perfect example of the 
Middle-Eastern colonial type of architecture. 
Fifty-one States and Territories will be repre- 
sented by exhibits, and the majority of them 
by their own buildings. 

THE BUILDINGS OF FOREIGN 
GOVERNMENTS. 

The universality of the St. Louis World's Fair 
is attested by the unanimity with which for- 
eign countries have engaged space for their 
exhibits. Fifty-two governments of foreign 
lands will display their products, works of art, 
and objects of interest, and the larger propor- 
tion of them will present special exhibits in 
their own buildings. Each one of the foreign 
buildings will show the national characteris- 
tics, be imbued with the local atmosphere of 
its land, and be managed by representatives 
of the respective peoples in national costumes. 
A visit to these buildings will afford the edu- 
cational advantages of a foreign tour. 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 21 

Germany will spend $1,000,000 in making its 
display. A reproduction of the Imperial Palace of 
Charlottenburg, rilled with treasures of German 
art and historical relics, will serve as its building. 

Great Britain will devote $1,000,000 to its 
display, and present as its pavilion the oran- 
gery of Queen Anne at Kensington. It is a 
quaint old structure, and will contain many 
interesting objects illustrative of English life 
and customs. Its most precious treasure will 
be the Jubilee presents of Queen Victoria. 

The exhibit of France will cost $1,000,000. 
The Grand Trianon, one of the most beautiful 
palaces of the v/orld, and the Gardens of Ver- 
sailles will be reproduced as the French Re- 
public's offering in honor of a transaction in 
which her greatest ruler was one of the con- 
tracting parties. 

Brazil expends $600,000, and will erect a 
fine pavilion. 

China, Japan, and Mexico have each appro- 
priated over $500,000, and pavilions embody- 
ing the racial characteristics of each will be 
erected. These structures, filled with the rare 
treasure of Old Mexico and the quaint products 
of Oriental handicraft, cannot fail to enlist 
absorbing interest 

Russia will offer as its building a replica of 
one of the fine old Romanoff palaces. It has 
been built in Russia and shipped to this coun- 
try in sections. 



22 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

The young Republic of Cuba will present a 
typical Cuban building surrounded by a garden 
rich in subtropical luxury. 

Nearly every other country of both hemi- 
spheres will be represented, and the pavilion 
of each will typify in architecture and decora- 
tion the art and the life of its people. 

Even little Guam, the adopted foundling 
of the United States, will reach out from its 
watery home in the' morning of the world and 
make a special exhibit. 

ANTHROPOLOGY. 

In the effort to make the Exposition an 
epitome of the world's progress, great atten- 
tion will be given to the development of 
man from a racial point of view. The study 
starts with man in his aboriginal state, and 
traces his development, by means of his habi- 
tations, his implements, his arms of offense 
and defense, and the work of his hands, 
through the various stages of the world's ex- 
istence to the present age. The record of the 
American Indian since he was found by Colum- 
bus will supply an interesting section of this 
Department. 

SOCIAL ECONOMY. 

The presentation of the solutions of the 
many vexed questions of social economy in 
all its phases will be unusually complete, 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 23 

with a practical illustration of economic life 
in the " Model City." In the section of Char- 
ities and Correction a demonstration of the 
Bertillon measuring system and the Eng- 
lish finger-print method of identifying crimi- 
nals will be given. 

PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORTS* 

A stadium seating 35,000 people, a fine 
gymnasium, and an appropriation of $150,000 
assures for athletics a prominent place in the 
attractions of the Fair. The Management has 
entered on its programme an athletic event 
of some description for every day the Fair is 
open, but of all the events the greatest is the 
Olympic Games, lasting a week, with the ath- 
letes of the world in competition. Every 
branch of athletic sport is included in the 
long list of contests. 

INTERNATIONAL MUSIC 

International harmony will prevail at the 
World's Fair even if it should be jarred else- 
where. Band stands have been erected in 
eligible plazas throughout the grounds, where 
the bands of all nations will from time to 
time divert the multitude with the strains 
of their native lands. The world-famous Sousa 
and his band, the Garde Republicaine Band 
of Paris, the Grenadier Band of London, the 



24 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

Imperial Band of Berlin, with hundreds less 
famous, will perform.. At times they will unite 
and play as one organization, forming a com- 
munity of harmony that has never been dupli- 
cated. Choral concerts with thousands of voices 
will be held in the Hall of Festivals, which, 
by the way, contains the largest organ in the 
world. The lover of music will find a feast 
of melody and a symposium of song. It will 
require $450,000 to ''pay the piper." 

TEMPLE OF FRATERNITY* 

The widespread importance of fraternal or- 
ders and societies is recognized by the World's 
Fair in the construction of a building for and 
its dedication to their uses. It is an adapta- 
tion of the Parthenon, 200 by 300 feet. 

THE PIKE. 

What was known at Chicago as The Mid- 
way has been at St. Louis christened "The 
Pike." It is a mile long and extends across 
the entire southern end of the grounds. A 
visit to the "Pike" will resemble a tour to 
some of the most interesting places in the 
world, and the spectacular sights range from 
"The Creation" to "The Hereafter." "The 
Cliff Dwellers" are neighbors to the "South 
Sea Islanders," and "Old St. Louis" to "Cairo." 
There is an "Irish Village," a "Japanese Village," 
and a reproduction of the "Tyrolean Alps" on 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 25 

a large scale. Asians, Moors, Chinese, Turks, 
and Laplanders all contribute to the picturesque 
medley of the assembled nations. A repro- 
duction of historic " Battle Abbey," the "Trans- 
Siberian Railway," a "Naval Exhibit," the 
"'Galveston Flood," and a score of other fea- 
tures of interest and entertainment make the 
"Pike" unique in the diversity of its attrac- 
tions. 

The high grade of each feature of the ' ' Pike ' ' 
and the genuineness of the racial representa- 
tives of each land and clime is assured by the 
Exposition Management. A large reproduc- 
tion of the sacred city of "Jerusalem," crowded 
out of the "Pike," will be found in the central 
portion of the grounds. 

NOTES OF GENERAL INTEREST. 

An up-to-date Emergency Hospital, equip- 
ped with doctors, nurses, and all requisite 
medical and surgical appliances, will be main- 
tained at a central location on the grounds. 

A Day Nursery, constructed on modern plans, 
with nurses, play rooms, and toys for the little 
ones, will prove a practical convenience to 
many visitors. Children may be left for the 
day without anxiety on the part of the parent. 

Five fire companies, including the famous 
Kansas City company that won the World's 
Prize at the Paris Exposition, will protect the 
property. 



26 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD EXHIBIT, 

Unique in design and purpose, will be of equal 
interest to the technical railroad man and the 
general public. One doesn't often see a loco- 
motive running at the rate of ioo miles per 
hour. 

The sectional models of the Pennsylvania 
Railroad tunnels under the Hudson and the 
East Rivers will afford an excellent idea of this 
stupendous undertaking. 

The German Government will present an 
outdoor demonstration of the German method 
of railroad signaling, its switch system, and 
general plan of train running. 

The Virginia State Building will be a repro- 
duction of Monticello, the home planned and 
constructed by Thomas Jefferson.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS. 



It is officially stated by the Exposition Man- 
agement that St. Louis will offer ample ac- 
commodations for its guests during the period 
of the Fair. There are over one hundred estab- 
lished hotels, with a capacity of 21,000 patrons. 

The established hotels have been supple- 
mented by new hotels with a capacity of 47,000 
persons, and there are hotel enterprises pro- 
jected that will further increase the housing 
capacity by 30,000 persons. 

There are boarding and rooming houses for 
15,000, and lodgings in private houses for 18,000 
persons. 

An original and unique feature of the Expo- 
sition is "The Inside Inn," an enormous cara- 
vansary located within the enclosure of the 
grounds. It will accommodate 6000 persons, 
who in addition to the hotel charges will pay 
50 cents per day for the entrance fee. "The 
Inside Inn" is eligibly located on the heights. 

There are 485 restaurants in St. Louis. 

Following is a list of the hotels with a capac- 
ity of 100 or more, their locations and rates, as 
promulgated by the Exposition Management 
through the Information Bureau: —

TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES BETWEEN THE 
CITY AND THE FAIR GROUNDS. 

There are eleven entrance gates to the Ex- 
position Grounds. Electric cars from the Union 
Station and the centre of the city run to the 
grounds, conveying passengers for a single fare. 
The service is frequent and prompt. Passen- 
gers landing at the Union Station, which is the 
terminal of all Pennsylvania Railroad trains, 
may take a car at the station for the Exposition 
Grounds. Beside the electric street cars, " shut- 
tle' ' trains will be run from the Union Station 
to the terminal station of the Exposition at 
two-minute intervals. Each train will carry 
from 1000 to 1500 passengers, and the run will 
be made in ten minutes. 

THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD TRAIN SERVICE 
BETWEEN EASTERN CITIES AND ST. LOUIS. 

The three trains shown from New York to 
St. Louis in the following tables are among 
the best equipped and fastest long-distance 
trains in the country. They make the run of 
over a thousand miles in from twenty-eight 
and a half to thirty hours. They are equipped 
with Pullman sleeping cars and coaches throtigh 
to St. Louis, and with dining cars for the serv- 
ice of all meals. 



36 THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 

It will be observed that each of the trains 
makes a good connection from all principal 
cities on the entire Pennsylvania Railroad Sys- 
tem. In view of this arrangement, the trip 
to St. Louis may be made from the principal 
cities and towns of the East, even those located 
on branch lines, with only one change of 
cars at the junction with the Main Line. 

The Pennsylvania Railroad System offers 

THE SHORTEST LINE FROM NEW YORK TO St. 

Louis, and with its magnificent roadbed (four 
tracks to Pittsburg) and exceptional equip- 
ment it appeals directly to the sense of se- 
curity and comfort, and insures the prompt 
movement of the passenger. 

A Spring, Summer, or Autumn trip over the 
Pennsylvania System is a kinetoscopic reve- 
lation of the most pleasing and diversified 
scenery east of the Mississippi Valley. The 
beautiful and fertile valleys of Pennsylvania 
and the Allegheny Mountains, with the scenic 
environment of the Horseshoe Curve, supply 
in full measure the attractive vistas and wooded 
heights which blunt the edge of weariness in 
long-distance travel. 

One of these trains, The New York and St. 
Louis Limited, leaving New York 9.55 A. M., 
Philadelphia 12.20 P. M., Washington 10.50 
A. M., and Baltimore 12.00 noon, is the fleetest 
and trimmest train between the East and the 
World's Fair city. In its appointment it matches 



THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. 37 

the famous ' ' Pennsylvania Limited . ' ' Its equip- 
ment embraces a combination parlor and smok- 
ing car, a Pennsylvania Railroad dining car, 
Pullman drawing-room sleeping cars, and a 
compartment car with observation parlor and 
open observation platform — all vestibuled from 
end to end. These cars are of the heaviest 
Pullman pattern, and their security, comfort, 
and ease is universally recognized and appreci- 
ated. The drawing rooms and compartments 
supply the exclusiveness of home; the smoking 
car, with its buffet, barber, and bath, the con- 
veniences of the club; and the observation 
parlor the social rendezvous of the up-to-date 
hotel. 

The schedule, as to the arriving and leaving 
time at terminals, is adjusted not only to meet 
the requirements of travelers to the best ad- 
vantage, but is so timed as to cover the most 
attractive scenic portion of the route in day- 
light. 

The eastbound trains are of the same class, 
and are scheduled with a view of supplying 
the best facilities to the returning traveler.

EXCURSION TICKETS TO ST. LOUIS 
FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR. 

The Pennsylvania Railroad System will offer a 
most liberal arrangement of excursion tickets to 
its patrons during the continuance of the Fair. 

The general plan is to sell from all stations on 
its System, on and after April 25th, 1904, season 
excursion tickets to St. Louis at a price aggre- 
gating 80 per cent, of double the one-way fare, 
with a return limit until December 15th, 1904. 

A second excursion ticket, valid for sixty days, 
including date of sale, but in no case good longer 
than December 15th, 1904, will be sold at a rate 
equal to one and one-third of the regular one- 
way fare. 

A third excursion ticket will be sold, valid for 
fifteen days, including date of sale, at a single 
fare plus $2.00. 

Excursion tickets, good for ten days, including 
date of sale, restricted to use in coaches only 
and to "coach excursions," will be sold on 
certain dates at a rate of one cent per mile, 
approximately, for the distance covered. The 
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will be the 
first line to run one of these excursions, the 
series opening with its excursion of May 10th, 
1904. Rate from New York, $20.00. 

The specific rates for each class of tickets 
are as follows from the points named, and the 
excursion rates from other stations on the 
Pennsylvania Railroad System will be made on 
the same basis; — -

COACH EXCURSIONS. 

Coach excursion tickets will be sold at rate of $20.00 
from New York, with proportionate rates from other 
points, based approximately on one cent per mile. These 
tickets will bear limit of ten days, including date of issue, 
and will be sold only on certain days, to be announced 
later. Tickets will be good going only in day coaches on 
special or designated trains, and on regular trains return- 
ing, and will not be good in dining cars. Excursions will 
be run each week during the Exposition period after May, 
if the business warrants it. 

FIRST COACH EXCURSION, MAY 10th, 1904. 

• The first coach excursion from the East will be run 
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company on May ioth, 
1904, thus affording an early opportunity of seeing the 
Fair at the lowest rate. May is an ideal month in St. 
Louis; the Exposition will be complete, the grounds and 
buildings fresh and attractive in the sunshine of early 
Spring, and all the conditions will be most favorable. 

The train will be composed of the best coach equip- 
ment, and be run through from New York to St. Louis, 
with stops at principal intermediate stations on the 
Pennsylvania Railroad, on express time. It is the first 
instance in the history of Universal Expositions where 
so low a rate has been available so early in the season. 

EXCURSION TICKETS BY VARIABLE 
ROUTES. 

Season tickets and sixty-day excursion tickets will be 
sold via variable routes; that is, going by one direct route 
and returning via another direct route. The rates for 
season tickets via variable routes will be made 80 per cent, 
of the sum of the one-way westbound fares over the 
routes used. The rates for sixty- day tickets via variable 
routes will be made on basis of 66^ per cent, of the sum 
of the one-way westbound fares via the routes used. Vari- 
able route tickets will be sold applying through Chicago 
in one direction at the same rates (shown herein) as apply 
for season and sixty-day excursion tickets to St. Louis, 
going and returning via the direct routes. 

On all one-way and round-trip tickets, reading to points 
beyond St. Louis, a stop-over of ten days will be permitted 
on payment of a fee of $1.00 and deposit of ticket.
